Hi All, I'm purchasing the mud flaps and I wanted to know if anyone had any experience installing them.

From my research when you purchase these, they do NOT come with installation instructions. Going through the forum for other Bimmers there is varying info regarding drilling or no drilling. For the instructions that I have found they are for other models and lines.

If drilling is involved I'll pay to have the dealership install them otherwise I believe I can tackle this myself. I'm not brave enough to drill into a 1 week old car.

I had the dealer install both front and rear wheel mud flaps before I took delivery - they had to pull the wheels off and drill/mount - figured best to let them own the process after spending nearly $40K, what the heck is a couple hundred more?

I noticed that the back of the X1 gets extremely dirty when driving in the rain or snow. Will the rear mudflaps do any good in keeping the back bumper and tailgate cleaner? Anyone have any before and after experience?

it does a great difference and it really look better, that should be a standard.

i got mine on ebay from china,
very good product,
it fit well, all holes are aligned,
i think i could have done it myself but don't have the tools.
the tech. used some plastic insert about 1.5 inches long
it took him about 20 minutes to do the job.

Do you have a link to the ones that you purchased? There are a lot of them on eBay. I want to make sure that I try to get the right ones.

Good morning. Can anyone help me out by taking a close up pictures of your front mud flaps? I got the OEM mud flaps, but it did not comes with instruction. Before I start drilling, I can't figure out where the big plastic insert or the small metal screw goes into which bottom hole. Thank you very much.

Order the mud flaps from the dealer and they arrived at the dealer but still waiting for my car from POA in NJ. Dealer says POA is updating something with the Steering before it is delivered to the dealer. Long wait.
